Materials for the Arts: ‘Thank You’ Letters Continue to Pour In

Materials for the Arts: ‘Thank You’ Letters Continue to Pour In

Duggal Visual Solutions and the Duggal Big Picture Foundation are proud to support Materials for the Arts (MFTA), New York City’s initiative to enable companies and individuals to donate unneeded supplies to public schools and nonprofit organizations with arts programming. Since joining the movement in 2014, we have donated thousands of pounds of materials that help to keep schools, senior centers, after-school programs and underfunded arts programs stocked with the necessary supplies.

Our donations come from every department within Duggal and typically include paper, fabric and vinyl that are unused in production. Instead of throwing away the surplus, we’re giving back to the printing and art community. Additionally, we’re able to keep these materials out of landfills and further reduce our ecological footprint.

The most rewarding aspect of all is the gratitude that these wonderful schools and organizations show. Here’s Duggal’s own, Ann Benson, reading through dozens of ‘thank you’ letters.

Congratulations to Ann and the entire Duggal Big Picture team! We hope their efforts inspire other companies to participate in MFTA. For more information, visit www.materialsforthearts.org.
